While offering flexibility for our employees to work from home, we’re finding new ways to stay as connected and productive as ever.

Weekly firm-wide Zoom gatherings are giving us an opportunity to connect as a community, check-in on our friends, and maintain an open dialogue about the issues we are all facing.  The flex-setup has also given us an opportunity to explore exciting new technologies.  Weekly “SpeedCrits” have allowed us to collaborate on multiple projects through new Concept Board technologies.  We’ve been able to gain great insights and input from our whole team. 

While we look forward to being together again, we are inspired daily by our partners, clients, and teams’ creative and innovative collaboration.

We are excited to welcome a new member to the team, Chris Woodcock.

Since graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2005 with a Bachelor of Architecture, Chris has gained a wide variety of experience in a broad range of project types, from residential additions to restaurant design, parks to large university buildings. For him, the most rewarding projects always have an involved client, elegant solutions and personal details. Chris is constantly striving to be an optimistic, sympathetic and practical designer, regardless of budget or scale. His experience also includes five years of industrial & product design in Krakow, Poland, focusing on laser cutting & custom prototyping, rapid & not-so-rapid.  His strength lies with assisting in the complete design process- from the initial concept through construction.

Construction continues on The University of Tennessee Engineering Services Facility. In collaboration with SmithGroup out of Detroit, MHM designed this new 230,000 SF facility to contain flexible laboratory spaces, laboratory support spaces, general purpose classrooms, student spaces, innovation labs, maker spaces, and administrative spaces. The new facility will provide state-of-the-art instructional, research and development spaces for the Department of Nuclear Engineering and multiple other programs for freshman, undergraduate and graduate students of the College of Engineering.

We are excited to welcome a new member to the team.

Pruett Smith is a Knoxville native and graduate from the University of Tennessee with both a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design and Master of Architecture. Using both her graphic and technical skills, she is looking forward to bringing a cross-disciplinary approach to her work at MHM.

In collaboration with the Christman Company as Construction Manager, two MHM projects were honored by the Associated General Contractors at the Build Knoxville 2019 Awards. The University of Tennessee Student Union, designed as a joint venture with BMa, is a 395,000 SF building which houses the largest auditorium on campus, meeting spaces and ballroom, offices, recreation, retail and dining facilities, among other spaces.  BMa-MHM utilized a contemporary approach to Collegiate Gothic design for the facility, paying equal tribute to UT's heritage and its promise for the future. The other project to receive recognition was the State Street Garage.  Designed to expand over time, the building recently added two additional parking deck levels, and is structured to accommodate still an additional structure above the top level in the future.  In association with the addition, a glass-covered pedestrian bridge now provides connectivity to Gay Street.
